Grams of Sugar to Tsp Formula
The formulas below convert sugar mass to teaspoons and back using bulk density for the chosen sugar type and the selected teaspoon volume.
\mathrm{tsp} = \frac{\mathrm{grams}}{d \cdot V_{\mathrm{tsp}}}- US teaspoon = 4.92892 mL
- Metric teaspoon = 5 mL.
- Granulated sugar density d ≈ 0.85 g/mL (≈ 4.19 g per US tsp)
- Powdered sugar density d ≈ 0.50 g/mL (≈ 2.46 g per US tsp)
- Brown sugar, light (packed) d ≈ 0.93 g/mL (≈ 4.58 g per US tsp)
- Brown sugar, dark (packed) d ≈ 1.02 g/mL (≈ 5.03 g per US tsp)

How do you convert grams of sugar to teaspoons? Use tsp = grams ÷ (density × tsp mL); for granulated sugar with US teaspoons, multiply grams by ≈0.23873 (since 1 US tsp ≈ 4.19 g).
How do you convert teaspoons of sugar to grams? Multiply teaspoons by density × tsp mL; for granulated sugar (US), grams ≈ tsp × 4.1896.
Example Problem
Convert 18 g of granulated sugar to US teaspoons.
Use tsp = grams ÷ (d × Vtsp) with d = 0.85 g/mL and Vtsp = 4.92892 mL.
tsp = 18 ÷ (0.85 × 4.92892) = 18 ÷ 4.189582 ≈ 4.297 tsp
